A homemade cheese spread recipe that is both easy to prepare and delicious to enjoy.
Combine the grated cheese, evaporated milk, and butter in a saucepan.
Grating the cheese helps it melt evenly and quickly.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stirring constantly prevents the mixture from burning or sticking to the pan.
Add the salt, hot sauce, and dry mustard to the melted cheese mixture, stirring to combine.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly before serving.
Cooling slightly allows the spread to thicken to the perfect consistency.
Serve the cheese spread warm or at room temperature with your choice of crackers or bread.
For a decorative touch, garnish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley or paprika.
